No, it’s not an Aussie outfit. This enduring Peranakan favourite has relocated from the East Coast to fabulous new digs next to the Substation. The two-storey shophouse (private dining rooms are upstairs) is stuffed with Peranakan antiques. The menu introduces some new items like fluffy omelettes with wild pepper leaves. The standards – such as the creamy rendang, lightly spiced banana flower salad, and fragrantly tender chap chye – are superbly done, though a little expensive for the small portions.

  • Joanna said: “Overpriced, mediocre food, arrogant & obnoxious owner ”

    After reading all the fantastic raving reviews about TRUE BLUE, I brought 3 out-of-town guests for lunch last Saturday. In summary, we had an extremely disappointing, overpriced and completely unpleasant experience. The dishes were clearly mass-produced earlier in the day and dished out in small overpriced portions. EVERYTHING is charged for, including each glass of plain tap ice water! Absolutely ridiculous - it's like they're trying to squeeze every possible penny out of their customers. As for the ayam goreng, it was dry and tasteless and when we requested for some chicken thigh/leg meat instead of all breast meat, the owner/chef (Benjamin Seck) was grossly obnoxious, rude and unpleasant in dealing with our request, which was ultimately completely ignored anyway. I will NEVER go back to True Blue again and I will be sure to advise all of my friends from going there. It is a terrible reflection of authentic Peranakan cuisine and worst of all, a disgustingly rude and arrogant chef-owner to top it off. A true disgrace to singapore restaurants and what customer service is all about.

    My first time visting True Blue on the 25 July during lunch was a unique one. The Banana Flower Salad was refreshing and it tast so yummy. Never tasted anything like this... I love the Beef Redang and the Prawn in Pineapple Soup. Staff was friendly and last but not least I get quality not quantity dishes. Impressive..
